[0002] Construction engineering refers to the engineering entity formed by the construction of various types of buildings and their ancillary facilities, as well as the installation of supporting lines, pipelines, and equipment. Among them, "buildings" refer to projects with roofs, beams, columns, walls, foundations, and the ability to form internal spaces to meet people's needs for production, living, learning, and public activities.

To address these issues, we propose an engineering-designed terrain exploration device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
